Bill: The Nobel Laureate, quoted by the NY Times, was very upset, and denied
ever saying that it was a cure for cancer. If the Times had not reported
that, which it DID, there would have been no need for him to refute the
newspaper. CEC is tired of us discussing this matter and this is the end of
discussion.
Look below, a direct quote from the article in the NY Times, which has
created all the ruckus, written by Gina Kolata. You will see that " Judah
(Folkman) is going to CURE CANCER in two years". This reporter is supposedly
quoting Dr. Watson, who stated that he never said the word "cure cancer".
This irresponsible reporter perpetrated this "cruel hoax".
<But even the drugs' discoverer, Dr. Judah Folkman, a cancer researcher at
Children's Hospital in Boston, is cautious about the drugs' promise. Until
patients take them, he said, it is dangerous to make predictions. All he
knows for sure, Folkman said, is that "if you have cancer and you are a
mouse, we can take good care of you."
Other scientists are not so restrained. "Judah is going to cure cancer in
two years," said Dr. James Watson, a Nobel laureate who directs the Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory, a cancer research center on Long Island. Watson
said Folkman would be remembered along with scientists like Darwin as
someone who permanently altered civilization. >
To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your
principles.
